50 students were given a survey on jellybeans. 30 like red, 29 like green and 17 like both red and green.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a Venn diagram.
\n" ); document.write( "Draw two overlappiing circles inside a rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "Lable one circle \"red\", the other \"green\".
\n" ); document.write( "put 17 in the intersection of the circles.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "put 30-17 = 13 in the red circle but not in the intersection.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "put 29-17 = 12 in the green circle but not in the intersection.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "How many of the students like neither red or green?
\n" ); document.write( "Total # in the rectangle is 50.
\n" ); document.write( "Total # in the two circles is 13 + 17 + 12 = 42
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "So, total # in the rectangle and not in the circles is 8.
